TaylOr's Funeral.
SALT LAKE u July 31.-The fune-
raj of John Taylor was held yesterday.
The body lie in state in the big Tab
ernacle from 7 O'Clock in the morning
till noon, thousands of people passing
through the building and viewing it.
When the services over the remains
begun fully six thousand people were
in the Tabernacle, many comprising
families with lunches and babies, who
sat for hours to hold eligible seats.
John Taylor's numerous family occu-
pied a prominent position, filling three
or four long benches The building
was heavily decorated with black and
white floral emblems. A beehive with
cross and crown and anchor were
most prominent. The coffin was pine,
polished brilliantly. Deceased was
dressed in white with shoes on his feet
and the usual burial robes, mitrex hat,
etc., in accordance with the written
directions of Taylor deposited with
Brigham Young IA years ago. The
sermons were very tedious and with
out any emotions or signs of grief; and
devoted chiefly to apotheosis OF Nor
monism and declaring it the Lords
work which was bound to prevail
against any opposition of men and fill
the whole earth. This lasted nearly
three hours then the body was taken
to the cemetery. There ere about
100 vehicles in line, many of them
buggies and wagons. The body was de-
posted in the grave with the wife who
died last Winter, but only temporary,
as both will be moved into a granite
vault to be built for them. The fune-
raj was much less numerously at
tended and less gorgeous than that oil

noon. The burned district was known
as Sloptown, and the tenements in il
